Rigid Insulation - Jan, 6-8

The rigid insulation arrived and in the meantime we had reviewed with the framing subcontractors how there can be no thermal breaks with any framing. So ledgers for porch roof have to go up after the rigid and rafter tails need to be trimmed in order for the rigid insulation to fit under and up to the edge of top plates. I also had a meeting with the insulation contractor and reviewed details for basement rim joist area and the soffit blocked area. Later after the framing inspection the inside framing will be air sealed. This will help attain our HERS Rating and Energy Star compliance.
